Is VR worth it in 2020?
Oculus Rift S is down to $350 here now
Is VR worth it in 2020?
Restock when? I have the shekels
Meh, once you get over the novelty of 3D games and porn you realize it's still a gimmick and go back to normal gaming
It is worth it if you want to get in on the ground floor of something that is immersive and fun but also weird and janky and will inevitably become ruined when more normies get into it.
Depends on you, some people give zero fucks about immersion and fiddling with stuff and just want to play the same game they've been playing for the past 20 years but with shinier graphics and more automated systems. VR isn't for that sort.
For gaming? no
For porn? Hell yes
I guess, if you've got money to burn.
It's not gonna be getting any good games anytime soon so you might as well hold on to 202X
For me VR needs to have the following
>Wireless
>Full body tracking
>Face tracking
After that it will be perfect for my use. A rig with the following (minus face tracking, only eye tracking) costs about $4000 in my country
VR mods are coming out for more & more games
Doom 3 is fantastic in VR now, and it works flawlessly
More the reason to get in it now while it's still young, VR is in it's Web 1.0 phase.
For sure. I predict future Oculus products will have heavy social media integration that can't be turned off and they'll market it as a safe social distance option. Get a headset now and enjoy the final days of weirdos in VR chat and janky but novel Unity games made by solo devs.
>implying that web spaces and said apps will disappear once the tech becomes more mainstream
Shit like that is still around. You'll just have a bit more trouble finding it.
Can comfirm, i rarely play vr nowadays. But personally i would say it was still worth it buying vr for me. Vr is not the next step in gaming, it's just an interesting take on gaming that is fun from time to time. But after you had it for one year or so it gets a bit boring
>bought Doom 3 to play this
>only works for BFG edition
goddamnit
Just torrent it
If you're so good at shootans, play In Death and Compound
>Index shipping changed from 8 weeks to 5-7weeks
>gonna get it around june
cant wait
Pimax 5k plus or bust, which is like $1k with base stations. FOV > resolution and frame rate.
Rift S or Quest?
Only worth it for Blade and Sorcery and porn.
If you have a PC that can do VR: S
If you dont or intent to lay down and fap while using VR : Quest
God i wish B&S modders were more like infinitely degenerate Skyrim coomers
Instead we get 90% Star Wars and Thanos mods
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades alone makes it worth it to me.
VTOL VR, VRChat, GORN, Blade and Sorcery, HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, Tilt Brush and plenty of others keep me plenty occupied as well.
>FOV > resolution and frame rate
Lmfao
I second this, works on psvr as well.
Quest is sounding more tempting with the live link and free updates uplocking new features.
Honestly though, I still roll with the CV1. That might be cheaper to get for a starting headset.
Any recommendations for VR games? Ive got alyx, boneworks, pavlov and rec room. Love them all but want something new. Are any of those god games good? VR seems perfect for the genre
Blade & Sorcery is hte best melee game so far, and there's a big update coming in around a month.
Beat Saber is obviously super entertaining.
SUPERHOT is great too.
>Are any of those god games good?
I only know of one, Deism and it's not what I'd call good or even finished.
>SUPERHOT is great too.
for a free demo
oh wait its 30 fucking bucks
Serious question
That meme game about a witch smothering you with her ass
Is that playable VR?
If you have a gaming rig and are autistic about the idea of fun standalone stuff and unique games only the Quest can do, then get the rift s its worth it
Otherwise the Quest is better in every aspect besides visuals. Can play all PC stuff if you have a PC to connect it to, which works wonderfully imo. Has shitloads of unique stuff made only for it, and its basically /the/ vr platform going forward.
FB constantly improves the thing as well, most recent being Vulkan which will make games run way better. Little front heavybut if it bothers you get a comfort mod, either a counterweight or go all out with the vive audio strap mod
Skyrim vr.
are you talking about that femdom game? that was some good stuff.
>Unironically enjoying vrchat for game maps since people have been testing out UDON.
There's already some 'spiderman' and vehicle maps that run really smoothly.
